Sadly enough, most 18 year old college students are immature children. I have yet to meet a "mature, adult" freshman or sophomore at Uconn. The first weekend of school, driving home from campus, a group of kids in a car driving in front of me were throwing empty beer bottles out their windows driving and swerving all over the road. When I pulled up at the light next to them they were all laughing it up AND DRINKING BEER. They couldnt have been any older than 19 and the female driver looked so wasted I would be surprised if she could walk, nevermind drive. Yeah, so the logical thing would be to make it legal for these organ donors to drink, because then they would be even more responsible young adults. Right.

Funny, because I have seen the same thing...but with guys in their 30s. Perhaps 21 is too young, then? 40 perhaps?
